    A few people have asked about the hardware I used.

    A quick write up on what hardware I used for the blinds-light-temp-servo project.

    My binds are 1” not the 2” that you see in the projects listed in the forums. The standard servos will not fit inside the 1” blinds, so I had to use the mini servos. My concern was that the mini servos would not have the torque necessary to operate the tilt mechanism. But for at least the 45x38 blinds I have the mini servo worked great, not sure about larger size blinds.

    I removed the tilt wand and mechanism completely and connected the servo directly to the hex rod. I used a piece of 2” foam insulation and cut out a cavity for the servo and used it as the mounting bracket.

    I purchased a Nano IO shield from imall.iteadstudio.com, which I plan to use when I assemble the parts into a final enclosure and mount it inside the cabinet. With the Light and Temp sensors mounted inside the window frame.

    I use PLEG to control the blinds.

    Parts used:

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/291084936296?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 – used to connect the servo to the hex rod. Note I had to cut off some of the hex rod so the servo would sit inside the head rail.

    I tried to upload a 5 second video of the binds in operation, but the file is too large.

          Can anyone see if i have missed something here in the code, It was working great before i copy/past the DHT sensor to the code; ande after that
          it will not really work anymore, Its 4 Binary Buttons, 1 relay And 1 DHT sensor Combo

                  #include <Relay.h>
                  #include <Sensor.h>

            can you elaborate on "doesn't work" ?

            do you have sensors on the Vera UI?

            Try to debug putting Serial.print(Something) in places so you can see how the sketch progresses...

                  }
              

              can you elaborate on "doesn't work" ?

              do you have sensors on the Vera UI?

              Try to debug putting Serial.print(Something) in places so you can see how the sketch progresses...

              Yes all the sensors came up in the Vera UI, And looks like they work for some minutes
              But when i push å button its looks like all things stop working, and after a reboot on the Arduino its working again for a short time and so on

                  Try threading in the sensor reads into each block to read and change its state in one block for each sensor/pin.

                  I edited you code so it can be read,,, attached.

                  Remember AutoFormat under Tools in your arduino menu

                  void loop() 
                  {
                    debouncer1.update();
                    // Get the update value
                    int value = debouncer1.read();
                    if (value != oldValue1) 
                    {
                      gw.sendVariable(BUTTON_PIN1, V_TRIPPED, value==HIGH ? "1" : "0");
                      oldValue1 = value;
                    }
                    //
                    debouncer2.update();
                    value = debouncer2.read();
                    if (value != oldValue2) 
                    {
                      gw.sendVariable(BUTTON_PIN2, V_TRIPPED, value==HIGH ? "1" : "0");
                      oldValue2 = value;
                    }
                    //
                    debouncer3.update();
                    value = debouncer3.read();
                    if (value != oldValue3) 
                    {
                      gw.sendVariable(BUTTON_PIN3, V_TRIPPED, value==HIGH ? "1" : "0");

                      oldValue4 = value;

                    So I have created a multi sensor that uses the DHT and motion to get Temp/Hum/Motion. Problem I have though is the update of the hum/temp. I have not been able to figure out a way to get a reliable update on those without blasting the GW/Vera with unneeded announcements (disable sleep function and it keeps updating pretty much every second). So right now the script updates the temp/hum only when motion is seen. I have tried a few things with my limited knowledge of arduino and can't get this to work properly. Can someone please take a look at this sketch and tell me what I am missing? If i change the variables for sleep at the end and try to do an interrupt and a sleep delay, i get an error.

                      Nobody wants to take a crack at this? I figured this to be a common combo and would really like to get it to work properly.

                        I'm coming close to finalising my multisensor sketch. I'll post code once I clean it up a little. I have a newborn at home, so if I forget to put code here then somebody please remind me in a little while :)

                            Thanks that worked... and for my understanding... looks like your not really using interrupts at all? Looking at the code makes complete sense to me, and proves I was over thinking things on mine.

                            Thanks again.

                              The sensor is not running on battery power so I did not spend much time with the interrupt/sleep options.

                                is it the same process with the new 1.4 library version?

                                Could you please give us a exemple here or on github to have multiple sensor type on the same arduino with the new 1.4 library?

                                if it's the same implementation, we could write multiple "gw.present(ID, XXXX);" and send a message for each child ID type?

                                Thank's very much.

                                  Sorry, I found the new implementation in the "DallasTemperatureSensor" Example

                                    Here is a version I'm currently using that makes use of interrupts so might be more suitable for a battery driven DHT/Motion multi sensor. It also includes the battery monitoring. Any feedback or improvements would be appreciated.

                                      How did you get 3 options for the sleep interrupt? Whenever I would try and add the sleep_time option it would give me compile errors.

                                        Here is a version I'm currently using that makes use of interrupts so might be more suitable for a battery driven DHT/Motion multi sensor. It also includes the battery monitoring. Any feedback or improvements would be appreciated.

                                        Thank you verry much, exactly what i need!

                                        For child's id, if you have two sensor you have to change the ID in the second?

                                        Sensor 1 :
                                        #define CHILD_ID_HUM 0
                                        #define CHILD_ID_TEMP 1
                                        #define CHILD_ID_MOTION 2

                                        Sensor 2:
                                        #define CHILD_ID_HUM 3
                                        #define CHILD_ID_TEMP 4
                                        #define CHILD_ID_MOTION 5
